UFC president Dana White dropped a bombshell on the MMA world on Friday, stating that he believes Brock Lesnar will return to UFC action later this year.
The UFC president also said he fully expects at least one Diaz brother to return. He expects Conor McGregor to fight twice. And he also believes that Jon Jones will clear up his mess with USADA and return to action this year too.
If all hold true, UFC’s 2018 year will be just what fight fans have been craving.
The only mega-star the UFC president said will not return to action this year, is Ronda Rousey. Which is understandable.
Now, in a new sit down with select members of the media, Dana White continued his talks on Brock Lesnar, stating, “I think he’ll give it one more run. I just think Brock loves to fight.”
Brock Lesnar’s deal with the WWE is up mid-2018, and his USADA suspension for the UFC 200 fallout was up this month as well. So he will be free to fight once more.
The former UFC heavyweight champion was a force like we’ve never seen when he was healthy and in the midst of his first UFC run.
His one-off return to the cage at UFC 200 saw him completely dominate the top ranked Mark Hunt, proving he’s still got what it takes to compete at the highest level.
Prior to his USADA suspension, the talks were to have a Jon Jones vs. Brock Lesnar super-fight for the ages.
Thoughts?
